Thanks Ray, I'll spend some time on that site.

Your canoe sounds great!

I was able to visit the Old Town factory while I was back east a few years ago, they had a few of the orignal canoes there. I sure like the old ones better than the new ones!!! That is a craft to be cherished.

It was good to see you at R2K

: Ben,
: Also give the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association a shot at it. Those guys are
: very helpful. WHCA.org. Your boat looks a lot like a canoe called a
: fisherman, very popular in the 30's, 40's. Look for a serial number
: stamped on the inside stem, usually near the bottom.
: I just received a copy of the original build order for an Old Town canoe I
: have acquired. Old records of some Canoe Mfg's are very complete. My canoe
: was built May 24, 1924, an Old Town HW 17ft.
: Good Luck,
